I disagree but I’m willing to accept a compromise at gargoyles.

The first one is positive.

The second is zero, so probably 1 downvoted

The third if you notice the comment you replied to is positive and implying Biden supports genocide

The only thing you’ve proven is that it is controversial enough for just as many people to upvote as have downvoted, your viewer just only shows the net result. Try viewing these in the browser for a more accurate assessment.

Trump doesn’t support them because he got his ego bruised when they wouldn’t give him dirt on Biden and his “perfect phone call” got leaked to the press. Before this phone call, Trump did support them, which is why he even had aid to withhold as an extortion mechanism. Also, Trump wants Putin to be his buddy. Also, this is the same deal Biden put up months ago (with Ukraine having lost ground in the war since then), Trump is just far less cordial about it.

The US is always two-faced about its foreign policy, which is to pretend to be an ally for as long as it takes to get smaller nations into predatory deals at their weakest and forcing them to give up the very resources they would need to pay us back. This is what it looks like to be a vassal state for the US, which seems to be what Zelensky wanted from the jump if we look at the facts of the situation. As the saying goes; live by the sword, die by the sword.

Unfortunately the war has come far enough that to not accept this deal is to subject Ukranians to even more death and destruction at Russian hands. It’s the only way out for Ukrainian sovereignty. Zelensky knows it. Trump knows it. Putin knows it.

And when pushed on it, the Democrats backed off instead of defending them. This should have won them the election by your logic, but it didn’t. Could it be your logic is flawed?

The system is not broken, it is working as intended. Telling you it’s broken is so they can dangle “fixing it” in front of your face like a carrot on a stick, but it will never ever happen for as long as capitalists are allowed to run our world and make decisions for us.

You want “ways to counter that propaganda and lead people to understand their empowerment”, the answer is and always has been class consciousness and historical materialism. It starts with you. Pick up a fucking book and seek it out. Cause I’m not seeing any ideas from you either and whether we like it or not, we are all in this together.

Not the only source, or a primary source, but the most comprehensive I’ve found so far. How Israel killed hundreds of its own people on 7 October

If you’re spending minutes scrolling then I don’t think the post is the problem here

Your reader should have a way to open and zoom in on the full resolution version if you fullscreen the image. Mine has a “HD” icon in the top right.

The switch cartridges have a bitterant added to them since they’re small enough to be a choking hazard. It’s not the smell of the construction material they’re talking about.

Ford execs have floated it too

edit: that google search isn’t very specific to what we’re talking about here, which is a subscription to access features that are physically installed in the vehicle

Too messy. Encased in concrete and dropped into the ocean.

That’s the point of what they’re saying. If you’re only buying a subscription to the content then it’s not theft to get access to that content by other means.

Or join the socialist struggle to end capitalism so your children can have a future. Honestly, what do we have to lose at this point? A few billionares?

I mean he wrote it after his experience in the British Ministry of Information during WWII. That reality arguably already existed when he wrote it and he just put it into terms that made the contradictions obvious and stole a plot to make it into a full length novel about how communism is bad and scary.

1984 is supposedly a cautionary tale about what would happen if the Communists won, and yet it was based on Orwell’s own, actual, Capitalist country and his job serving it. It’s really no wonder how we got here, they’re just expanding the same tactics and rhetoric into new territory.

Hear, hear. I prefer socialist revolution of course but in the meantime I’m willing to compromise.

Yep. All of this. They want the “good” immigrants and the “middle” classes who can afford expensive education and travel, and not the lower classes that their own society is built on the backs of. Their base is just too easily blinded by racism to see the class war for what it is.

They don’t need to reinstate slavery, they already are able to employ people at wages below what it costs to feed, clothe, and house them. They don’t care how we live as long as they are making more money than last year, which includes profiting from our consumption. No, all they have to do is gradually replace their workforce with workers that accept lower compensation. Poverty, homelessness, recessions, debt, unemployment, these are all necessary components of capitalism. They keep the workforce desperate for any wage it can get. Capitalists have referred to it as “tempering” the workforce.

Absolutely, I fully agree with you. We are experiencing the same depression of wages in the engineering sector because of these abusive practices. I still live quite comfortably as an engineer but I am watching the conditions develop for it to be taken from me as it has from others.

I question how it can be that I interact with more foreign nationals than the marginalized peoples of my own country, especially those like myself whom I grew up with that have all the same drive I do if not more. I am watching as the ladder that got me here is being stuffed with exploitable labor and pulled back up, when more should be going down and leading to more diverse careers that actually serve humanity. Unlike my industry whose entire business model is taking an essential service from our countrymen so they could sell it back to us in a form that regularly kills and financially burdens us.

Sorry about your health situation. It really sucks that we live under such oppressive conditions, with leaders would allow our needs to be deprived from us simply because we do not have the wealth that they are accountable to. It feels like a cliché to say money is the root of all evil but every day it gets harder to avoid such an apparent truth.

I think it’s talking about rows of seating. Not the grille.

marginalizing the majority

🐶😙

Oh & reminder Stallin apologists are class traitors.

Who told you that? The American capitalist class? You really trust what they have to say about the leader of a socialist country they were trying to justify a war with, and prevent their own working class from getting any ideas, at all costs?

I invite you to challenge all beliefs that have been formed under a state which finds itself threatened by socialist revolution.
